Is there a graph of 40 vertices of grade 1 to 40?












1












$begingroup$


I’m trying to check if a graph with $40$ vertices with $deg(v_1) = 1$, $deg(v_2)= 2$, $cdots$ , $deg(v_{40}) = 40$ exists.
No other characteristics are known about this graph.



I suppose that a graph like that can’t exist simply because the vertex $40$ cannot have degree $40$. Is my assumption correct or is strictly referred to the hypothesis of a connected graph and it’s not enough?

          It depends on the kind of a graph. If it's a simple graph, your argument is absolutely correct. But, if it's not a simple graph, and there can be multiple edges between 2 vertices or loops, then we can have this graph. One of the many possible graphs in that case can be:-



          (Note that i'll take $deg(v_i)=i$)



          $v_1$ will be connected to $v_2$ with one edge. $v_{2i}$, where $i$ is integer, is connected to $v_{2i-1}$ and $v_{2i+1}$ with i edges each. $v_{2i+1}$, where $i$ is integer, is connected to $v_{2i}$ via $i$ edges and with $v_{2i+2}$ via i+1 edges. Finally, $v_{40}$ will be connected to $v_{39}$ via $20$ edges. It can then have $10$ self loops, with each loop contributing $2$ to its degree, giving $deg(v_{40})=40$




          EDIT:



          Since it was asked to do it do it without self-loops, we can do it in this way:-



          Connect (1) $$v_{40}->v_{1}, v_2,cdots ,v_{39} $$
          $$v_{39}->v_{2}, v_3,cdots ,v_{38} $$
          $$v_{38}->v_{3}, v_4,cdots ,v_{37} $$
          $$cdots $$
          $$v_{22}->v_{19}, v_{20}, ,v_{21} $$
          $$v_{21}->v_{20}$$



          Then (2) Join $v_{20+2i}$ to $v_{20+2i-1}$.



          In this way, for $v_i$, $ileq 20$, it'll come only i times in the above mentioned "joining". For $v_{20+i}$, $1leq ileq 20$, it'll be connected to vertices $v_{20-i+1}$ to $v_{20+i-1}$ via pairing (1) $implies$ contributes $2(i-1)+1$ to degree. Also, it also connected to all the vertices above it, again via (1) pairing $implies$ contributes $40-20-i$ to degree. And finally, another vertex via (2) pairing $implies$ contributes $1$ to degree. Final degree $=(2i-2+1)+(40-20-i)+1=20+i$.

          @PCNF I've edited. Take a look. Further, it might confuse you a bit, because I know I wasn't able to write it as neatly as I wanted to, so feel free to ask!

          Ellipse (mathématiques)

          Image
          Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

          Quarter-circle Tiles

          Image
          up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
